Energy efficiency resources for homeowners and tenants in Louisiana

This program offers information on AC Tune ups, appliance selection, light bulbs, and a listing of certified contractors. Rebates are also available if you get a home energy audit and use a participating contractor. Energy Smart is a program developed by the New Orleans City Council and administered by Entergy New Orleans for Orleans Parish residents.

If you want to do-it-yourself on weatherization, start with a self assessment of your home, and then air seal, add insulation and update appliances as needed via Energy Star's recommendations.
